Feature Friday-Blog Swap with obSUESSed

I’m so glad I get to visit at A Little Tipsy today. I’m Victoria and I’m obSEUSSed about children’s books, kid crafts and family fun, here to wish you a MERRY GRINCHMAS!

I blog about bringing stories and characters to life by doing crafts and activities with your kids. There are so many things you can do to get your children excited about reading.

Things like making a flannel board with characters for any of your favorite books.

Or helping your children practice counting by printing the “1 Fish 2 Fish” FREE placemat I created.

Or making your own Old Lady Puppet (I love puppets) and collecting props to go with any of the “Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly” books. She also swallowed a bell, some leaves, some snow, a pie, a bat, a hamburger, and a variety of other books.

Our kids love to have tea parties with their favorite characters too.

Many of my posts are Dr. Seuss related, but most are about incorporating any type of children’s books into our lives.

ART IMITATING LIFE or LIFE IMITATING ART?

Anytime we want to learn more about something in our life, we go to the library and check out a book. Like this past summer my daughter was asked to be a flower girl so we checked out a ton of books at the library about flower girls and found this Junie B. Jones one that helped spark her interest in starting chapter books.

When going back to school we read books about germs and I have a special lotion that glows in black light to show kids hidden germs all over the house. They have to be Germ Detectives.

We’ve created our own Jack Skellington from the Nightmare Before Christmas. The older kids watch the movie and we all read the picture book. Our kids love saying hi to him at Halloween time. He’s almost become part of the family.

We’re not afraid to dress up either to bring characters to life. My husband often uses our Cat in the Hat costume for story time at school. Especially in March during Dr. Seuss’ birthday.

For the Holidays we are starting to create a Who-ville Village to spice up the common graham cracker house. I also posted a recipe for the perfect Gingerbread House Icing.

Thank you Michelle for letting me stop by A Little Tipsy.
